My mom and I walked into Midtown Mod today with the intention of buying some decorative items for our kitchen. Unfortunately, as we were perusing the store, I noticed quite a few racist depictions of People of Color (POC) in the store's home décor selection. To be specific, they had the racist characters of "Black mammies" as black face salt and pepper shakers, statues of "hula girls" half naked and wearing grass skirts, and statues of Native American people also half dressed as warriors and "sexy Indians."What started as a fun little excursion with my mom immediately became a shocking, and upon reflection, horrifying experience. Looking around I realized the store was subtly filled with these racially stereotypical, and harmful depictions POC communities. If you are a person who identifies as a Person of Color (as I do), or someone with an ounce of racial and/or ethnic sensitivity, I would highly recommend not going into this store. It is heartbreaking.To the store owner, I would ask you to please deeply reconsider carrying these items in your store. You may not be aware of their horrible history and connection to our country's Jim Crow past, but it is worth doing a bit of research around it all.

I visited this adorable shop for the first time yesterday and I loved it! Such a wonderful selection of high quality vintage items. Everything was displayed so well, I could easily spend all day there. If you haven't visited Midtown Mod you're missing out. I will definitely be back.

Really cool store with an eclectic but well organized collection. Most impressive are the vintage interior fabrics and Vargas calendar prints that are matted and sold individually. She has one of the most extensive collections I've ever seen. If you're a fan of this artist, this is definitely the place to come.

Super cute vintage shop with tons of kitchen ware. I was shopping at this store on Saturday June 4, 2022. It was a rainy day. There was an older man in a wheelchair in the store as well. The woman working in the store made a comment that the man's wheelchair was tracking in mud and making a huge mess. I was shocked and appalled this woman would say such a thing to this man who is clearly in a wheelchair because he cannot walk.She was following him with a mop (how humiliating) and caused him to leave the store. I put back the items I was planning to purchase because this woman clearly doesn't understand that people with disabilities have rights and should not be shamed for their disability.Similarly I was wearing boots and I could've tracked in a ton of mud as well should I be called out for that?Horrible behavior by this store worker who I strongly believe is also the owner of the shop. I will never step foot in the store again.Think twice before you spend money in this store.

Absolutely fabulous furniture, home decor and so much more. The owner truly has an eye for fantastic pieces. I've found some great treasures, I'm sure you will too. Definitely recommend stopping by.

I love going to Midtown Mod when in the Portland area. Mary has an amazing selection of vintage decor and is very nice. One of the best shops to find items that are unique. Regarding the bad review about the man in the wheelchair; I wouldn't like someone tracking in mud to my shop. When did people in wheelchairs become exempt from showing common courtesy? Perhaps it was the lady who complained that is exempt.

I love shopping here when in Portland. This shop is a nice asset to the Sellwood area. Mary is so nice and has lots of unique items.

She never answers the phone or has her hours posted here on Yelp or Google for everyone to see, Liam or Lazy?

A few months ago I noticed that a new shop was going to open in my my neighborhood and I finally had the opportunity to drop and and have a look. Their store front is very colorful and happy so I had to explore the inside of the shop. Check out my pictures for a glimpse inside their beautiful shop. Midtown Mod offers the best in vintage fashion, furniture and home decor. Check out their Instagram page for updates. The two women that were working there were warm, inviting and friendly. I am looking forward to seeing this business flourish and becoming a regular customer there. I LOVE vintage home decor. I have lots of vintage kitchen ware and saw plenty of cool items to add to my collection!
